Both electromechanical and semiconductor switches are proven technologies used in the control and routing of RF signals. The use of mechanical switches can be justified in precision test equipment, ...

Irvine, CA. Pasternack has unveiled a new line of SPDT high-power PIN diode RF switches for transmit and receive signal-routing applications. The PIN diodes can find use in radar systems, EW ...

Devices called “PIN diodes” are commonly used as variable dynamic resistances in variable attenuators for RF and microwave applications. Driven to conduct such and so many milliamperes DC, they can ...

Researchers demonstrated a novel technique to efficiently convert ambient low-power radiofrequency signals into DC power. This 'rectifier' technology can be easily integrated into energy harvesting ...
